Policies and Strategies

Transport policies and strategies should be responsive to the poverty reduction strategies and the Millennium Development Goals. Policies and strategies are important instruments to guide the allocation of scarce resources to transport activities that contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction. They also need to appropriately address cross-cutting issues such as road safety, gender, employment, and climate change.Because countries differ significantly with respect to their growth opportunities and constraints, and levels of social well-being, as well as their histories and institutional contexts, country based approaches are critical to achieving development outcomes. SSATP policy and strategy agenda is therefore guided by the needs of countries.
